EaEU’s Armenian government and “non-governmental” “regime” would not be “demolished”
That’s it. Parliamentary government RPA and “non-government” forces: PAP, ARF and ANC, as it was expected, standing shoulder to shoulder, again said “yes” to the respected Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin’s Eurasian Union ratifying Armenia’s EaEU Treaty introduced to the National Assembly a few days ago. Recently, Russian president introduced the State Duma the bill of Armenia’s accession to the Eurasian Economic Union for ratification. Kazakhstan, Belarus and Russia’s Parliaments plan to ratify the bill of Armenia’s accession to the Union in 2015, January 1.
While the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, in recent days, accuses Russia of breaking the agreements within the EaEU, moreover, is not embarrassed using not so adequate lexicon to the leader of the state in response to his cynical behavior, while the Russian ruble “sinks”, in Armenia, you don’t know artificially or naturally, the dram has begun fluctuating, the discussions at the National Assembly regarding the Treaty of Armenia’s affiliations to the Eurasian Economic Union once again showed the total absence, inability of sound debating about the future of Armenia, at least to analyzing the situation seriously to understand the challenges facing Russia, the effect of which, Armenia’s populations would feel pretty soon.
Note that this week, Russia’s ministry of economic development even warned that after two years of stagnation, the country’s economy is going to experience a serious decline and this decline has already begun. In the nearest future, a decrease in the living standard is expected on the background of inflation and devaluation of the ruble. If earlier, the ministry was assuming that Russia’s economy would grow by 1.2 percent in 2015, today, it is expected that next year Russia’s economy would register a negative dynamics, falling by 1.8 percent. In other words, on the one hand, the decline in the oil price and the Western sanctions, the western financial market is closed to Russian companies and banks, on the other hand, the EaEU found in uncertainty and our speeches in the Parliament with substantiations to rescue Armenia’s future through EaEU. Today, already having the Belarus example, one can clearly predict that after joining the EaEU, the final decisions on economic tender will be made by Moscow, while numerous questions that Armenian entrepreneurs are concerned about are left unanswered.

The government authorities, probably, realize that whatever they answer to the Armenian entrepreneurs, anyway, the final decisions will be imposed from the “above”, therefore, they do not bother themselves to clarify on how they visualize the settlement of this or that issue. As for the political part of the issue, Russia today is an isolated country, and predicting an economic development for the future of our country in an economic union with Russia, at least under the current conditions, seems truly from the genre of fantasy. Along with all of this, however, the worst thing is that the subjects of Armenia’s political and social discourse again remained on this level, “Look at what happened in Ukraine,” “Who would sell us cheap weapon and gas if we do not join the EaEU?”, “pro-westerns, if we are selling the country, why are you roaming about in the Europe? Come and save the country”, “hey, neurotics, why don’t you fight?” In fact, the government and “non-government” presented at the National Assembly, together, make the overwhelming majority. Hence, Serzh Sargsyan’s government “demolishing”, so to say, can become something like a suicide for parliamentary “non-government”.
To the point, in this context, it is very interesting to know the subject of Smbat Karakhanyan’s next interview, how he is going to bypass the issue of Serzh Sargsyan’s “criminal” government’s withdrawal in the full support of Serzh Sargsyan’s decisions by “non -government” parliamentary forces, and justifying the necessity of removal of the “regime” a day ago, if the “non-government”, with the “regime”, leads Armenia to a stage of great uncertainty and unpredictability, and still substantiates why it should be done so. One thing is indisputable: EaEU’s Armenian government and “non -governmental” single “regime” would definitely not be “demolished”. Vladimir Vladimirovich will duly appreciate the selfless dedication of Armenian parliamentarians to him because he has the EaEU crushing majority at the National Assembly of Armenia.
